"The Crossfire is quite German. It is built by karman in Germany on a Mercedes platform." Of course you're right. But the man was arguing for a Chrysler (American, he called it) purchase. Thanks for keeping it in perspective. (I hope no one tells us we have to wait for an AMG version :-} JW |

The funny thing is nowadays American isn't even American. i.e. PT -Mexico, Vans Canada, 300m, concorde Canada. What difference does it make? I will still order one and am sure quality and will be the best. Just unfortunate that numbers will be limited. |

Now you have me hoping there will be an AMG version. And why not? The Crossfire is a Benz with Chrysler styling. What better Chrysler to be the first to get the AMG treatment? |

How about a RenneTech version. I do believe Chrysler even though it's German has taken a step in the right direction and before you know it you will be going to a Chrysler Jeep Dodge Benz all in on the same lot. |

hi, not only is it built in Germany, but it's got the looks of those baby Benzes, in particular from the front. I prefer the '01 Detroit Auto Show concept car's frontend VERY much to the production version. The stacked headlights would have been a bold step out of the general bunch (see Cadillac), the split front window was just ultra cool, and the bigger (more Chrysler-like) grille exuded much more power than these standard air intakes, which you will ruin at the next steep parking garage exit. Concept v. production = dream v. reality. Welcome back to earth! |

It's more than expected that Chrysler will launch the Crossfire with the base 215 hp engine and then bump it up in the following years. Practically every car from a Neon to a 911 has gone through this power improvement process. Here's something that may make you want to wait another year for your Crossfire: http://www.evo.co.uk/news/evo_news_story.php?id=31338 |

I don't understand the reason for waiting. It sounds like procrastination and just when you think they can't take it any further they will then when will you buy. I am all for purchase now and buy again later. If you think about it if you bought the 01 PT then you would be in line for the 04 convert. Funny how brand loyalty has gone down the tubes. It also is what drives trade in values down. |

another good reason to wait a year! Actually, this is a good, practical thing to do with most any car, even the Japanese. Brand loyalty? Hmmmm. Are you a dealer? You sound like a dealer? Dealers say things like that, along with "How do you expect me to feed my kids with this deal?" and "No, the warranty doesn't cover the engine if it falls out." JW |

| Question to you all? If Chrysler is such a bad product it certainly creates alot of discussion. Why the heebie jeebies of a good product? | |
| Why the heebie jeebies of a good product? Huh? | |
